Somehow very far away...
Dua compositions can indeed come across as very successful. They are often said to have piercing, synthetic attachments. This is, of course, a matter of interpretation and does not always correspond to the facts. As for the scent itself: to create a comparison to the original, I should also briefly mention Memo's African Leather. This has fascinated me since the first spray. Especially this complex-fresh and at the same time spicy-dark leather. From the opening to the final flicker of the scent. The masterpiece from Memo is truly unique and has no equal. The Cuir de Africano, on the other hand, starts off very citrusy-piercing and is already, at the opening, very far from the refinement of African Leather. Then follows something that could remind one of Memo's African Leather, but without reaching its noble composition. This means: There is quite a gap missing to recognize the scent at least somewhat as a "scent twin."
The sillage and also the longevity are typically very successful for Dua. The price per milliliter is now in the higher price segment (thanks to import VAT and shipping). Therefore, I would recommend everyone to reach for the original. Unless one is satisfied with what they receive.

On my skin, it's very citrusy, later joined by rose and musk...but this oud and leather isn't really my thing...not a candidate for purchase.

Heavy and quite unnatural, this powdery spice rack comes across. The vetiver completely blurs any detectable leather trace. ...

What a hit! More herbs than in the "original," less leathery, intense H&S, absolutely wonderful to smell on yourself. Highly recommended!

A spice caravan crosses Africa before the monsoon. Elegant-dry, almost floating spices without any Dua hair spray vibes.

DUA did it again ;)
Sweet and powdery. H/S typical #DUAPOWER
Blind buy and very positively surprised. I can only recommend it.

Strongly spiced, dry-cool inspired leather. This makes it very distinctive and mature. Elegantly dressing, attractively elegant. Strong!

It goes sour on me. No pronounced cardamom, no sweaty cumin. Citrusy rose, almost sparkling bergamot.

Much more wearable, somewhat fresher and rounder than the original, I must say! I really like this one! :-)

Épices de Afrìcano would be the more fitting name for this perfume. Leather and Black Musk linger in the background.

The better "Cuirs Nomades - African Leather (Eau de Parfum) | Memo Paris"? In terms of price/quality, definitely, almost a 100% clone, the Memo will...
